Mojo's mistake

I got my bike back today and mentioned to Bob at goldtec the work that had been done on my forks. Straight away he was on to mojo to give me some assurances that the forks will take some abuse. I spoke to Rowan Sorell who stated that you get problems through overtightening the axle pinch bolts and also from them not beng tight enough. I said that I dont overtighten and was aware that you could crack the lowers. Anyway I got home to change my front pads and I noticed that the lowers had been touched up i.e they were the original ones. So I rang mojo again and spoke to Rowan and explained the situation. What we figured is that the technician had put down the wrong part number on the job sheet. I have in fact had new stanchions because they had worn internally, new crown because it had worked slighlty lose (he assured me that this wont break but they did replace it......) and new internals. They have also come back with shims.

So, I am still in a predicament because once the warranty runs out I dont want big repair/servicing bills. The other issue though is that the crown shouldnt of worked loose. Give me bolts anyday
